Today I'm going to take you on a voyage
0
1000
2000
今天，我将带你们启程前往
00:18
to some place so deep,
1
3000
2000
一个很深、
00:20
so dark, so unexplored
2
5000
3000
很黑暗、未被探索过的地方，
00:23
that we know less about it than we know about the dark side of the moon.
3
8000
3000
我们对它的了解比我们对月球背面的了解还要少。
00:26
It's a place of myth and legend.
4
11000
2000
这是一个充满神秘与传奇之地。
00:28
It's a place marked on ancient maps
5
13000
2000
在古代地图上，它被标识为
00:30
as "here be monsters."
6
15000
3000
“怪物出没”的地方。
00:33
It is a place where each new voyage of exploration
7
18000
3000
这个地方，每个新的探索之旅
00:36
brings back new discoveries of creatures so wondrous and strange
8
21000
3000
都带回了有关惊人的神奇生物的新发现，
00:39
that our forefathers would have considered them monstrous indeed.
9
24000
3000
我们的祖先认为这些生物是怪物。
00:42
Instead, they just make me green with envy
10
27000
2000
实际上，我十分羡慕
00:44
that my colleague from IUCN
11
29000
2000
我世界自然保护联盟的同事们
00:46
was able to go on this journey to the south of Madagascar seamounts
12
31000
3000
能够去马达加斯加海岭的南部继续此次旅程，
00:49
to actually take photographs
13
34000
2000
去拍摄真实的图片，
00:51
and to see these wondrous creatures of the deep.
14
36000
3000
去观察这些海洋深处的神奇生物。
00:54
We are talking about the high seas.
15
39000
3000
我们谈论的是公海。
00:57
The "high seas" is a legal term,
16
42000
2000
公海是一个法律概念。
00:59
but in fact, it covers 50 percent of the planet.
17
44000
3000
但实际上，它覆盖了地球的50%。
01:02
With an average depth of the oceans
18
47000
2000
海洋的平均深度
01:04
of 4,000 meters,
19
49000
2000
是4000米。
01:06
in fact, the high seas covers and provides
20
51000
3000
实际上，公海为地球上的生命
01:09
nearly 90 percent of the habitat
21
54000
3000
提供了近90%的
01:12
for life on this Earth.
22
57000
3000
栖息地。
01:15
It is, in theory, the global commons,
23
60000
2000
理论上，它是全球共有的，
01:17
belonging to us all.
24
62000
2000
属于我们大家。
01:19
But in reality,
25
64000
2000
但是，事实上
01:21
it is managed by and for
26
66000
2000
它被某些
01:23
those who have the resources
27
68000
2000
有资源走入并勘探深海的人
01:25
to go out and exploit it.
28
70000
3000
管理和利用着。
01:28
So today I'm going to take you on a voyage
29
73000
2000
因而，今天我要带你们展开旅程，
01:30
to cast light on some of the outdated myths
30
75000
2000
破除一些过时的
01:32
and legends and assumptions
31
77000
2000
阻止我们成为
01:34
that have kept us as the true stakeholders
32
79000
3000
在黑暗的公海的真正的利益相关者的
01:37
in the high seas in the dark.
33
82000
2000
神话、传奇与猜想。
01:39
We're going to voyage to some of these special places
34
84000
3000
我们将航向一些特定的地点，
01:42
that we've been discovering in the past few years
35
87000
2000
在过去数年我们在这些地方有所发现，
01:44
to show why we really need to care.
36
89000
3000
这些发现表明为何我们确实需要关注公海。
01:47
And then finally, we're going to try
37
92000
2000
最后，我们将试着
01:49
to develop and pioneer a new perspective
38
94000
2000
发展和提出一个新的
01:51
on high seas governance
39
96000
2000
有关公海治理的观点。
01:53
that's rooted in ocean-basin-wide conservation,
40
98000
3000
这一观点植根于整个海洋的保护，
01:56
but framed in an arena of global norms
41
101000
3000
在国际准则框架内
01:59
of precaution and respect.
42
104000
3000
进行预警和关注。
02:02
So here is a picture of the high seas
43
107000
2000
好，这是一幅公海图片，
02:04
as seen from above --
44
109000
2000
正如之前所看到的 --
02:06
that area in the darker blue.
45
111000
2000
是用深蓝色表示的区域。
02:08
To me, as an international lawyer,
46
113000
2000
对于我，一名国际律师，
02:10
this scared me far more
47
115000
2000
这更加让我害怕，
02:12
than any of the creatures or the monsters we may have seen,
48
117000
2000
比起任何我们可能见过的生物或怪物更令人害怕，
02:14
for it belies the notion that you can actually protect the ocean,
49
119000
3000
因为它说明我们能切实保护海洋，
02:17
the global ocean,
50
122000
2000
全球海洋
02:19
that provides us all with carbon storage,
51
124000
2000
提供给我们所有人需要的
02:21
with heat storage, with oxygen,
52
126000
3000
碳、热量、氧气，
02:24
if you can only protect 36 percent.
53
129000
3000
如果你仅能保护其中的36%的话。
02:28
This is indeed the true heart of the planet.
54
133000
3000
这是真正的地球之心。
02:32
Some of the problems that we have to confront
55
137000
2000
我们不得不面对的一些问题
02:34
are that the current international laws --
56
139000
2000
是现有的国际法——
02:36
for example, shipping --
57
141000
2000
例如，航海方面——
02:38
provide more protection
58
143000
2000
提供了更多保护
02:40
to the areas closest to shore.
59
145000
2000
给那些近岸区域。
02:42
For example, garbage discharge,
60
147000
2000
例如，垃圾排放，
02:44
something you would think just simply goes away,
61
149000
2000
你可能认为仅仅是简单地排放掉，
02:46
but the laws regulating
62
151000
2000
但是法律关于
02:48
ship discharge of garbage
63
153000
2000
船舶垃圾排放的规定
02:50
actually get weaker the further you are from shore.
64
155000
3000
实际上离岸上越远就越软弱。
02:53
As a result, we have garbage patches
65
158000
3000
因此，我们垃圾排放场所的
02:56
the size of twice-Texas.
66
161000
3000
面积相当于德克萨斯的两倍。
02:59
It's unbelievable.
67
164000
2000
这令人难以置信。
03:01
We used to think the solution to pollution
68
166000
3000
我们过去认为解决污染的办法
03:04
was dilution,
69
169000
2000
是进行稀释，
03:06
but that has proved to be no longer the case.
70
171000
3000
但是这已被证明不再适用。
03:09
So what we have learned from social scientists
71
174000
3000
因此，我们从社会学家
03:12
and economists like Elinor Ostrom,
72
177000
2000
和经济学家，如埃莉诺.奥斯特洛姆那里学到的是，
03:14
who are studying the phenomenon
73
179000
2000
他们正在研究
03:16
of management of the commons on a local scale,
74
181000
2000
局部地区对共有物的管理现象，
03:18
is that there are certain prerequisites
75
183000
3000
那里有某种先决条件，
03:21
that you can put into place
76
186000
2000
你能满足先决条件，
03:23
that enable you to manage
77
188000
2000
就能为了个人或社会的利益
03:25
and access open space
78
190000
3000
管理和进入
03:28
for the good of one and all.
79
193000
3000
公共领域。
03:31
And these include a sense of shared responsibility,
80
196000
3000
这些包括一种共同的责任感，
03:34
common norms that bind people together as a community.
81
199000
3000
共同的理念将人们团结在一起。
03:37
Conditional access: You can invite people in,
82
202000
3000
有条件准入：你可以邀请人们加入，
03:40
but they have to be able to play by the rules.
83
205000
3000
但他们必须按规则行事。
03:43
And of course, if you want people to play by the rules,
84
208000
2000
当然，如果你想让人们按规则行事，
03:45
you still need an effective system
85
210000
2000
仍需要一个有效的系统
03:47
of monitoring and enforcement,
86
212000
2000
来监督和实施，
03:49
for as we've discovered,
87
214000
2000
正如我们所发现的，
03:51
you can trust, but you also need to verify.
88
216000
2000
你可信任他们，但是也须证明他们可信。
03:53
What I'd also like to convey
89
218000
2000
我还想传达的是，
03:55
is that it is not all doom and gloom
90
220000
2000
厄运和黑暗
03:57
that we are seeing in the high seas.
91
222000
2000
并非我们在公海上所见到的全部。
03:59
For a group of very dedicated individuals --
92
224000
3000
对于一群非常乐于奉献的个人——
04:02
scientists, conservationists,
93
227000
2000
科学家、环境保护主义者、
04:04
photographers and states --
94
229000
3000
摄影家和国家——
04:07
were able to actually change a tragic trajectory
95
232000
3000
能够实实在在地改变悲剧轨迹，
04:10
that was destroying fragile seascapes
96
235000
2000
这些悲剧轨迹破坏了脆弱的海洋风光。
04:12
such as this coral garden
97
237000
2000
例如这个珊瑚花园，
04:14
that you see in front of you.
98
239000
2000
你面前所看到的这张，
04:16
That is, we're able to save it from a fate
99
241000
2000
我们能够
04:18
of deep-sea bottom trawling.
100
243000
2000
从深海底部的拖网捕捞中挽救其命运。
04:20
And how did we do that?
101
245000
2000
我们怎么做的呢？
04:22
Well, as I said, we had a group of photographers that went out on board ships
102
247000
3000
如我之前所说，我们有一群摄影家登船出海，
04:25
and actually photographed the activities in process.
103
250000
3000
他们拍摄了拖网捕捞活动过程。
04:28
But we also spent many hours
104
253000
2000
但是，我们也在在联合国的机构
04:30
in the basements of the United Nations,
105
255000
2000
内花了一些时间，
04:32
trying to work with governments to make them understand
106
257000
3000
尝试与政府合作，让他们明白
04:35
what was going on so far away from land
107
260000
2000
远离陆地的地方发生了什么
04:37
that few of us had ever even imagined
108
262000
2000
我们过去几乎没有人能想象到的事，
04:39
that these creatures existed.
109
264000
2000
这些生物存在。
04:41
So within three years,
110
266000
2000
故在3年内，
04:43
from 2003 to 2006,
111
268000
3000
从2003到2006年，
04:46
we were able to get norm in place
112
271000
2000
我们能够建立一些规范。
04:48
that actually changed the paradigm
113
273000
2000
这些规范确实改变了过去的模式，
04:50
of how fishers went about
114
275000
2000
有关渔民从事
04:52
deep-sea bottom trawling.
115
277000
2000
深海拖网捕捞的模式，
04:54
Instead of "go anywhere, do anything you want,"
116
279000
3000
你不再能想去哪就去哪，想干啥就干啥。
04:57
we actually created a regime
117
282000
2000
我们确实创设了一种制度，
04:59
that required prior assessment of where you're going
118
284000
3000
你想到哪里去需要预先评估，
05:02
and a duty to prevent significant harm.
119
287000
3000
并有责任避免重大损害。
05:05
In 2009, when the U.N. reviewed progress,
120
290000
3000
2009年，当联合国检查我们的进度时，
05:08
they discovered
121
293000
2000
他们发现，
05:10
that almost 100 million square-kilometers of seabed
122
295000
3000
几乎1亿平方公里的海床
05:13
had been protected.
123
298000
2000
受到了保护。
05:15
This does not mean that it's the final solution,
124
300000
2000
这并非意味着问题得到了彻底解决
05:17
or that this even provides permanent protection.
125
302000
2000
或者已经提供了永久性保护。
05:19
But what it does mean
126
304000
2000
但是它确实意味着，
05:21
is that a group of individuals can form a community
127
306000
3000
一群个人可以形成一个团体，
05:24
to actually shape
128
309000
2000
来切实塑造
05:26
the way high seas are governed,
129
311000
2000
公海时代的治理方式，
05:28
to create a new regime.
130
313000
2000
创造一种新的制度。
05:30
So I'm looking optimistically at our opportunities
131
315000
3000
故我乐观地看待我们的机遇，
05:33
for creating a true, blue perspective
132
318000
3000
来创造一个真正蔚蓝的前景，
05:36
for this beautiful planet.
133
321000
2000
为这美丽的星球。
05:38
Sylvia's wish
134
323000
2000
“西尔维娅的愿望”（项目名称）
05:40
provides us with that leverage, that access
135
325000
3000
向我们提供了
05:43
to the heart of human beings,
136
328000
2000
通往人类心灵的途径。
05:45
you might say,
137
330000
2000
你可能会说，
05:47
who have rarely seen places beyond their own toes,
138
332000
3000
这些几乎鼠目寸光的人
05:50
but are now hopefully going to become interested
139
335000
3000
现在却越来越有兴趣
05:53
in the full life-cycle of creatures like these sea turtles,
140
338000
3000
关注海龟这样的生物的整个生命周期。
05:56
who indeed spend most of their time in the high seas.
141
341000
3000
他们真的将大部分时间花在了公海上。
06:00
Today, we're just going to voyage to a small sampling
142
345000
3000
今天我们只打算航行到
06:03
of some of these special areas,
143
348000
2000
这些特殊地区中的很小一部分，
06:05
just to give you an idea of the flavor
144
350000
2000
仅仅是给你一点
06:07
of the riches and wonders they do contain.
145
352000
3000
有关它们所蕴含的富饶与神奇风情的概念。
06:10
The Sargasso Sea, for example,
146
355000
2000
例如马尾藻海，
06:12
is not a sea bounded by coastlines,
147
357000
2000
它不是一个被海岸包围的海洋，
06:14
but it is bounded by oceanic currents
148
359000
3000
它被洋流环绕，
06:17
that contain and envelope
149
362000
2000
洋流包裹和环绕着
06:19
this wealth of sargassum
150
364000
2000
马尾藻的养分。
06:21
that grows and aggregates there.
151
366000
2000
马尾藻生长、聚集于此。
06:23
It's also known as the spawning ground for eels
152
368000
4000
它也被认为是鳗鱼产卵之地。
06:27
from Northern European
153
372000
2000
这些鳗鱼来自北欧
06:29
and Northern American rivers
154
374000
2000
和北美的河流。
06:31
that are now so dwindling in numbers
155
376000
2000
这些鱼的数量正在减少。
06:33
that they've actually stopped showing up in Stockholm,
156
378000
2000
在斯德哥尔摩，它们已经消失了。
06:35
and five showed up in the U.K. just recently.
157
380000
3000
最近在英国发现了5条。
06:38
But the Sargasso Sea,
158
383000
2000
但是在马尾藻海
06:40
the same way it aggregates sargassum weed,
159
385000
3000
以聚集马尾藻的同样方式
06:43
actually is pulling in the plastic
160
388000
2000
聚集了
06:45
from throughout the region.
161
390000
2000
充满整个区域的塑料。
06:47
This picture doesn't exactly show
162
392000
2000
这个图片并未确切显示
06:49
the plastics that I would like it to show, because I haven't been out there myself.
163
394000
3000
我所想展示的这些塑料垃圾，因为我自己从未到过那里。
06:52
But there has just been a study
164
397000
2000
但是这有一项研究
06:54
that was released in February
165
399000
2000
已于2月开始进行
06:56
that showed there are 200,000
166
401000
2000
表明那里每平方公里有
06:58
pieces of plastic per square-kilometer
167
403000
3000
20万片塑料垃圾
07:01
now floating in the surface of the Sargasso Sea,
168
406000
3000
正漂浮在马尾藻海的海面。
07:04
and that is affecting the habitat
169
409000
2000
而且影响了很多
07:06
for the many species in their juvenile stages
170
411000
3000
处于成长阶段的物种的栖息地。
07:09
who come to the Sargasso Sea
171
414000
2000
它们来到马尾藻海
07:11
for its protection and its food.
172
416000
3000
为了获得保护及食物。
07:14
The Sargasso Sea is also a wondrous place
173
419000
3000
马尾藻海仍是个神奇之地，
07:17
for the aggregation of these unique species
174
422000
2000
由于这些独特物种的聚集。
07:19
that have developed to mimic the sargassum habitat.
175
424000
3000
它们已适应马尾藻的栖息地。
07:22
It also provides a special habitat
176
427000
2000
它也确实提供了一个特殊的栖息场所，
07:24
for these flying fish to lay their eggs.
177
429000
3000
让这些飞鱼产卵。
07:28
But what I'd like to get from this picture
178
433000
2000
但是，我从这幅图片想到的是，
07:30
is that we truly do have an opportunity
179
435000
2000
我们确实有机会
07:32
to launch a global initiative for protection.
180
437000
3000
开展全球化的保护倡议
07:35
Thus, the government of Bermuda has recognized the need
181
440000
3000
因此，百慕大政府已经认识到
07:38
and its responsibility
182
443000
2000
必要性和责任感。
07:40
as having some of the Sargasso Sea
183
445000
2000
有部分马尾藻海
07:42
within its national jurisdiction --
184
447000
2000
在其国内管辖权的范围之内——
07:44
but the vast majority is beyond --
185
449000
2000
但是，马尾藻海庞大的主体部分超出了其管辖范围——
07:46
to help spearhead a movement
186
451000
2000
百慕大政府正作为一项运动的先锋
07:48
to achieve protection for this vital area.
187
453000
2000
来保护这个极重要的地区。
07:50
Spinning down to someplace a little bit cooler than here right now:
188
455000
3000
现在我们转向一个比马尾藻海更冷一点的地方，
07:53
the Ross Sea in the Southern Ocean.
189
458000
2000
南太平洋的罗斯海。
07:55
It's actually a bay.
190
460000
2000
它实际是个海湾。
07:57
It's considered high seas, because the continent
191
462000
2000
它被认为是公海，因为该大陆
07:59
has been put off limits
192
464000
2000
已经超出
08:01
to territorial claims.
193
466000
2000
任何国家宣示领土的限度。
08:03
So anything in the water is treated as if it's the high seas.
194
468000
3000
因此，该水域中的一切都被当做公海一样对待。
08:06
But what makes the Ross Sea important
195
471000
2000
但是罗斯海如此重要
08:08
is the vast sea of pack ice
196
473000
3000
是因为广袤海域由浮冰构成。
08:11
that in the spring and summer
197
476000
2000
浮冰在春季和夏季
08:13
provides a wealth of phytoplankton and krill
198
478000
2000
提供养分给浮游生物和磷虾。
08:15
that supports what, till recently,
199
480000
2000
直到近年它们仍支持着
08:17
has been a virtually intact
200
482000
2000
一个完整的
08:19
near-shore ecosystem.
201
484000
3000
近海生态系统。
08:22
But unfortunately, CCAMLR,
202
487000
2000
但是不幸的是，CAMLAR——
08:24
the regional commission
203
489000
2000
一个地区的委员会，
08:26
in charge of conserving and managing fish stocks
204
491000
2000
它负责保护和管理渔业资源
08:28
and other living marine resources,
205
493000
2000
和其他海洋生物资源，
08:30
is unfortunately starting to give in to fishing interests
206
495000
3000
不幸地开始向捕鱼利益让步
08:33
and has authorized the expansion
207
498000
2000
并授权在本地区
08:35
of toothfish fisheries in the region.
208
500000
3000
扩大对牙鱼的捕捞。
08:38
The captain of a New Zealand vessel
209
503000
2000
一艘新西兰船舶的船长
08:40
who was just down there
210
505000
2000
刚到过那里。
08:42
is reporting a significant decline
211
507000
2000
他报告称，
08:44
in the number of the Ross Sea killer whales,
212
509000
3000
罗斯海虎鲸数量急剧减少。
08:47
who are directly dependent on the Antarctic toothfish
213
512000
2000
虎鲸直接依赖南极牙鱼
08:49
as their main source of food.
214
514000
3000
作为主要食物来源。
08:52
So what we need to do is to stand up boldly,
215
517000
3000
因此，我们需要做的是大胆站起来，
08:55
singly and together,
216
520000
2000
分别和共同
08:57
to push governments,
217
522000
2000
向政府施压，
08:59
to push regional fisheries management organizations,
218
524000
2000
向地区渔业管理组织施压，
09:01
to declare our right
219
526000
2000
宣示我们的权利，
09:03
to declare certain areas off-limits to high seas fishing,
220
528000
3000
声明公海某些地区捕鱼量的上限。
09:06
so that the freedom to fish no longer means
221
531000
2000
以此说明捕鱼自由不在意味着
09:08
the freedom to fish anywhere and anytime.
222
533000
3000
在任何地方、任何时间捕鱼的自由。
09:11
Coming closer to here, the Costa Rica Dome
223
536000
3000
换一个更接近这里的地方，哥斯达黎加圆突区
09:14
is a recently discovered area --
224
539000
2000
是近年才开发的地区——
09:16
potentially year-round habitat for blue whales.
225
541000
2000
是潜在的蓝鲸的常年栖息地。
09:18
There's enough food there to last them
226
543000
2000
这里有足够的食物
09:20
the summer and the winter long.
227
545000
2000
让他们度过四季。
09:22
But what's unusual about the Costa Rica Dome
228
547000
2000
但是，哥斯达黎加圆突区的不平凡之处
09:24
is, in fact, it's not a permanent place.
229
549000
2000
在于它实际不是一个永久性区域。
09:26
It's an oceanographic phenomenon
230
551000
2000
这是一个海洋学的现象，
09:28
that shifts in time and space on a seasonal basis.
231
553000
3000
它随时间及季节变动。
09:31
So, in fact, it's not permanently in the high seas.
232
556000
2000
实际上，它并非永久处于公海上，
09:33
It's not permanently in the exclusive economic zones
233
558000
3000
它也并非永久处于
09:36
of these five Central American countries,
234
561000
2000
中美洲五国的专属经济区。
09:38
but it moves with the season.
235
563000
3000
它随季节移动。
09:41
As such, it does create a challenge to protect,
236
566000
3000
正因为如此，对它进行保护是项挑战。
09:44
but we also have a challenge protecting the species that move along with it.
237
569000
3000
但是我们也面临着保护随着它而移动的物种的挑战。
09:47
We can use the same technologies that fishers use
238
572000
3000
我们能够使用同样的技术，
09:50
to identify where the species are,
239
575000
2000
即渔民识别鱼群所在地的技术，
09:52
in order to close the area
240
577000
2000
来接近这一地区。
09:54
when it's most vulnerable,
241
579000
2000
当它极其脆弱的时候
09:56
which may, in some cases, be year-round.
242
581000
3000
——在很多情况下，这可能是常年的。
09:59
Getting closer to shore, where we are,
243
584000
2000
我们靠近海岸一点，
10:01
this was in fact taken in the Galapagos.
244
586000
2000
就会发现这是在加拉帕格斯群岛发生的情况。
10:03
Many species are headed through this region,
245
588000
2000
很多物种经过这一地区，
10:05
which is why there's been so much attention
246
590000
2000
因而这里获得很多
10:07
put into conservation
247
592000
2000
有关保护
10:09
of the Eastern Tropical Pacific Seascape.
248
594000
2000
太平洋东部热带海洋的关注。
10:11
This is the initiative that's been coordinated
249
596000
2000
此倡议是得到
10:13
by Conservation International
250
598000
2000
国际保护组织
10:15
with a variety of partners and governments
251
600000
2000
和各方面以及一些政府的配合，
10:17
to actually try to bring integrated management regime
252
602000
3000
力图建立一体化的管理制度，
10:20
throughout the area.
253
605000
2000
在这一区域。
10:22
That is, it provides a wonderful example of where you can go
254
607000
2000
它提供了一个“你能去哪里”的极好范例，
10:24
with a real regional initiative.
255
609000
2000
用一个真实的地区性倡议的方式。
10:26
It's protecting five World Heritage sites.
256
611000
3000
它保护着五处世界遗产。
10:29
Unfortunately, the World Heritage Convention
257
614000
3000
不幸的是，世界人类遗产公约
10:32
does not recognize the need to protect areas
258
617000
3000
没有意识到需要保护的区域
10:35
beyond national jurisdiction, at present.
259
620000
3000
目前超出了国家管辖的范围。
10:38
So a place like the Costa Rica Dome
260
623000
2000
因此，一个像哥斯达黎加圆突区的地方，
10:40
could not technically qualify
261
625000
2000
严格来说无法证明
10:42
the time it's in the high seas.
262
627000
2000
它在公海内的时间。
10:44
So what we've been suggesting
263
629000
2000
因此我们建议：
10:46
is that we either need to amend the World Heritage Convention,
264
631000
3000
要么我们需要修订世界人类遗产公约，
10:49
so that it can adopt
265
634000
3000
让它能适应
10:52
and urge universal protection of these World Heritage sites,
266
637000
3000
和推动对这些世界遗产的普遍性保护。
10:55
or we need to change the name
267
640000
2000
要么我们改变该公约的名称，
10:57
and call it Half-the-World Heritage Convention.
268
642000
3000
称之为“半世界人类遗产公约”。
11:00
But what we also know is that species like these sea turtles
269
645000
3000
但是，我们也知道像这些海龟这样的物种
11:03
do not stay put in the Eastern Tropical Pacific Seascape.
270
648000
4000
不会一直处于太平洋东部热带海洋。
11:07
These happen to go down to a vast South Pacific Gyre,
271
652000
3000
它们有时会进入广阔的南太平洋的涡流中，
11:10
where they spend most of their time
272
655000
2000
在此度过它们的大半生。
11:12
and often end up getting hooked like this,
273
657000
2000
并且它们经常最后被这样钩住，
11:14
or as bycatch.
274
659000
2000
或者被误捕。
11:16
So what I'd really like to suggest is that we need to scale-up.
275
661000
3000
因此，我确实要建议我们需要拓展。
11:19
We need to work locally,
276
664000
2000
我们需要局部性工作，
11:21
but we also need to work ocean-basin-wide.
277
666000
3000
但是我们也需要进行海洋全流域的工作。
11:24
We have the tools and technologies now
278
669000
3000
我们现在有一些工具和技术
11:27
to enable us to take a broader
279
672000
2000
使我们能提出一个更广泛的
11:29
ocean-basin-wide initiative.
280
674000
2000
海洋全流域的倡议。
11:31
We've heard about the Tagging of Pacific Predators project,
281
676000
3000
我们听说过“标记太平洋捕食动物”工程，
11:34
one of the 17 Census of Marine Life projects.
282
679000
3000
这是17个“海洋生命普查”工程之一。
11:37
It's provided us data like this,
283
682000
2000
它为我们提供了这样的数据，
11:39
of tiny, little sooty shearwaters
284
684000
3000
小小的灰鹱
11:42
that make the entire ocean basin their home.
285
687000
2000
以整个海盆为家。
11:44
They fly 65,000 kilometers
286
689000
2000
在不到一年的时间内，
11:46
in less than a year.
287
691000
2000
它们飞行65000公里。
11:48
So we have the tools and treasures coming from the Census of Marine Life.
288
693000
3000
因此我们有来自“海洋生命普查”工程的工具和数据。
11:51
And its culminating year
289
696000
2000
它的最后一年
11:53
that's going to be launched in October.
290
698000
2000
将于10月开始。
11:55
So stay tuned for further information.
291
700000
2000
故要继续等待进一步信息。
11:57
What I find so exciting
292
702000
2000
振奋人心的发现是
11:59
is that the Census of Marine Life
293
704000
2000
“海洋生命普查”
12:01
has looked at more than the tagging of pacific predators;
294
706000
3000
不只着眼于标记太平洋的捕食动物，
12:04
it's also looked in the really unexplored mid-water column,
295
709000
3000
它同样注意未被探索过的中水层生物，
12:07
where creatures like this flying sea cucumber
296
712000
2000
在这里像这样游动的海参一类的生物
12:09
have been found.
297
714000
2000
已被发现。
12:11
And fortunately, we've been able, as IUCN,
298
716000
3000
幸运的是，像国际自然和自然资源保护联合会一样，我们能够
12:14
to team up with the Census of Marine Life
299
719000
2000
与“海洋生命普查”工作合作，
12:16
and many of the scientists working there
300
721000
2000
而且有很多科学家为之工作，
12:18
to actually try to translate
301
723000
2000
力图传递
12:20
much of this information to policymakers.
302
725000
2000
很多这种信息给政策制定者们。
12:22
We have the support of governments now behind us.
303
727000
3000
现在我们有了政府的支持。
12:25
We've been revealing this information through technical workshops.
304
730000
3000
我们通过技术工作室发布这种信息。
12:28
And the exciting thing is that we do have sufficient information
305
733000
3000
令人兴奋地是我们有足够的信息
12:31
to move ahead to protect some of these
306
736000
2000
去进一步保护一些
12:33
significant hope spots, hotspots.
307
738000
3000
明显有希望的地区和热点地区。
12:36
At the same time we're saying,
308
741000
2000
同时，我们号召
12:38
"Yes, we need more. We need to move forward."
309
743000
2000
“是的，我们需要更多，我们需要前进”。
12:40
But many of you have said,
310
745000
2000
但是你们中的很多人说过，
12:42
if you get these marine protected areas,
311
747000
2000
如果这些海域能得到保护，
12:44
or a reasonable regime for high seas fisheries management in place,
312
749000
3000
或是一项合理的公海渔业管理制度能够到位。
12:47
how are you going to enforce it?
313
752000
2000
你将如何去执行它？
12:49
Which leads me to my second passion besides ocean science,
314
754000
3000
这将我引向除了海洋科学以外，我第二感兴趣的方面，
12:52
which is outer space technology.
315
757000
2000
就是外层空间技术。
12:54
I wanted to be an astronaut,
316
759000
2000
我曾想成为一名宇航员，
12:56
so I've constantly followed
317
761000
2000
故我一直关注
12:58
what are the tools available to monitor Earth
318
763000
2000
可从外层空间，
13:00
from outer space --
319
765000
2000
监测地球的技术——
13:02
and that we have incredible tools like we've been learning about,
320
767000
3000
如我们所知，我们拥有惊人的技术，
13:05
in terms of being able to follow tagged species
321
770000
2000
跟踪被标记了的物种的科技，
13:07
throughout their life-cycles
322
772000
2000
在它们的整个生命周期中，
13:09
in the open ocean.
323
774000
2000
在海洋里。
13:11
We can also tag and track fishing vessels.
324
776000
3000
我们也能标记和追踪渔船。
13:14
Many already have transponders on board
325
779000
3000
很多船上已经装了异频雷达收发机，
13:17
that allow us to find out where they are and even what they're doing.
326
782000
3000
使我们能发现它们在哪里以及在做什么。
13:20
But not all the vessels have those to date.
327
785000
2000
但是迄今为止并非所有船舶都安装上了。
13:22
It does not take too much rocket science
328
787000
3000
这并不需要多少高科技
13:25
to actually try to create new laws to mandate,
329
790000
3000
来创造新的法律。
13:28
if you're going to have the privilege
330
793000
2000
如果你想拥有特权
13:30
of accessing our high seas resources,
331
795000
3000
获得我们的公海资源，
13:33
we need to know -- someone needs to know --
332
798000
2000
我们需要知道——有人需要知道——
13:35
where you are and what you're doing.
333
800000
3000
你在哪里以及在做什么。
13:38
So it brings me to my main take-home message,
334
803000
2000
因此，它将我带回主题
13:40
which is we can avert a tragedy of the commons.
335
805000
3000
这就是我们能够避免共同的悲剧。
13:43
We can stop the collision course
336
808000
2000
我们能阻止这些冲突，
13:45
of 50 percent of the planet
337
810000
2000
这些冲突发生在占地球50%
13:47
with the high seas.
338
812000
2000
的公海上。
13:49
But we need to think broad-scale. We need to think globally.
339
814000
3000
但是我们需要广泛思考，我们需要全球性的思考，
13:52
We need to change how we actually go about
340
817000
2000
我们需要改变我们正用于
13:54
managing these resources.
341
819000
3000
管理这些资源的方式。
13:57
We need to get the new paradigm
342
822000
2000
我们需要获得新的
13:59
of precaution and respect.
343
824000
2000
关于预防和重视的模式。
14:01
At the same time, we need to think locally,
344
826000
2000
同时，我们需要局部性思考。
14:03
which is the joy and marvel of Sylvia's hope spot wish,
345
828000
3000
“西尔维娅的愿望”能够获得成功的原因
14:06
is that we can shine a spotlight
346
831000
2000
是我们能够聚焦于一个亮点，
14:08
on many of these previously unknown areas,
347
833000
3000
在这些此前未知的地区。
14:11
and to bring people to the table, if you will,
348
836000
3000
然后把问题带给人们——如果你愿意——
14:14
to actually make them feel part of this community
349
839000
3000
使他们感到自己是这个团体的一部分
14:17
that truly has a stake
350
842000
2000
这个团体确实具有利害关系
14:19
in their future management.
351
844000
2000
在他们未来的管理中。
14:21
And third is that we need to look at ocean-basin-wide management.
352
846000
3000
第三，我们需要关注海洋全流域的管理
14:24
Our species are ocean-basin-wide.
353
849000
3000
各物种都是海底全流域活动的
14:27
Many of the deep-sea communities
354
852000
3000
很多深海群落
14:30
have genetic distribution
355
855000
2000
有着遗传学分布，
14:32
that goes ocean-basin-wide.
356
857000
2000
遍及海洋全流域。
14:34
We need to better understand,
357
859000
2000
我们需要理解，
14:36
but we also need to start to manage and protect.
358
861000
3000
但是我们也需要开始管理和保护。
14:39
And in order to do that,
359
864000
2000
为了做到这些，
14:41
you also need ocean-basin management regimes.
360
866000
2000
你也需要海盆管理制度。
14:43
That is, we have regional management regimes
361
868000
3000
我们有地区性管理制度，
14:46
within the exclusive economic zone,
362
871000
2000
在专属经济区。
14:48
but we need to scale these up, we need to build their capacity,
363
873000
3000
但是我们需要整合它们，我们需要设立权限，
14:51
so they're like the Southern Ocean,
364
876000
2000
像在南太平洋那样。
14:53
where they do have the two-pronged fisheries
365
878000
2000
在那里，它们有双管齐下的渔业
14:55
and conservation organization.
366
880000
3000
和保护组织。
14:58
So with that, I would just like to sincerely thank and honor
367
883000
3000
所以在这一点上，我愿意真诚感谢和赞扬
15:01
Sylvia Earle for her wish,
368
886000
2000
“西尔维娅.厄尔的愿望”，
15:03
for it is helping us to put a face on the high seas
369
888000
2000
它帮助我们面向公海
15:05
and the deep seas beyond national jurisdiction.
370
890000
3000
和超出国家管辖权的深海。
15:08
It's helping to bring an incredible group
371
893000
2000
这有助于我们组建一个令人惊叹的团体。
15:10
of talented people together
372
895000
2000
它由极具天赋的人们共同组成，
15:12
to really try to solve and penetrate
373
897000
2000
力图解决和洞察
15:14
these problems that have created our obstacles
374
899000
3000
这些给我们制造障碍的问题，
15:17
to management and rational use
375
902000
3000
来管理和理性利用
15:20
of this area that was once so far away and remote.
376
905000
4000
这曾一度遥远的区域。
15:25
So on this tour, I hope I provided you
377
910000
2000
因此，这趟旅程，我希望能带给你们
15:27
with a new perspective of the high seas:
378
912000
2000
一个有关公海的全新视角，
15:29
one, that it is our home too,
379
914000
3000
公海只有一个，它也是我们的家园。
15:32
and that we need to work together
380
917000
2000
我们需要共同努力，
15:34
if we are to make this a sustainable ocean future for us all.
381
919000
3000
如果我们要使公海在未来成为可持续的属于所有人的海洋。
15:37
Thank you.
382
922000
2000
谢谢。
15:39
(Applause)
